Definitions
- the present invention relates to a vessel closing laminate. It is commonplace in the packaging of a wide variety of materials ranging from pharmaceutical products to instant coffee that a closure is provided in the form of a seal connected to the neck of a container and a screw cap covering and protecting the seal which provides a re- closable cap after the seal has been removed to gain access to the container. Often the closure is such that the underside of the seal has a heat sensitive adhesive coating or a meltable plastics layer covered by a metal foil.
- the metal foil can provide the substrate of the seal or may include a separate substrate formed from plastics material or paper. The seal is then placed against the neck of a container and sandwiched against it by the applied screw cap.
- An induction heating step then heats the metal foil and in turn activates the heat sensitive adhesive layer or melts the plastic layer so that on cooling, the seal bonds to the neck of the container.
- a difficulty often encountered by eventual users is removal of such seals from the container. Attempts have thus been made to include a tab extending sideways from the neck of the container so that the consumer can grip this to facilitate removal of the seal.
- US-A-5702015 also discloses such a seal but, in this case, the seal substrate is formed by an extrusion process in which a first layer of plastics material is extruded, followed by extrusion lamination of a second layer of release material using a third layer of extrusion material which is of the same composition to that of the first layer which integrates with the first layer where the second layer is not present.
- the tab which is formed by the third layer, is formed integrally with the first layer without the need for adhesive between the layers.
- the screw-cap may include some form of liner in addition to the seal material.
- a difficulty with a two-component system is that the seal material and the liner which are provided separately, have to be fitted inside a screw- cap in two separate operations. This naturally adds to the expense and difficulty of using the system.
- In order to minimise the processing steps included in producing a seal and liner system there has been focus on the development of a one component seal and liner system which avoids the need for two separate fitting operations.
- EP-A-1472153 describes a one component seal and liner system, for attaching into a screw cap, which includes a tab.
- the seal portion of the system is adhered to the liner portion by means of a release layer such that the seal and liner release from each other with a peel strength in the range from 20 to 9Og at a rate of 1500mm/min on a sample strip 25mm wide.
- the adhesive used is low density polyethylene.
- a further example of a one component seal and liner system is DE9108868 in which the seal and liner portions are adhered by means of wax for the purposes of handling and fitting the sytsem.
- the wax melts and is absorbed into an absorbent secondary liner whereby the seal portion and liner substantially separate from each other.
- This system includes a tab which is formed by adhering the top layer of seal portion to the remainder of the seal across part only of the area of the seal.
- a problem with this system is that the seal portion has a tendancy to tear in use when a user attempts to remove the seal from a container to which it is attached by pulling on the tab.
- a further problem which can be identified with such systems is that in attaching the system including the tab to a container to be sealed, an uneven level of bonding is achieved with there being a propensity for higher bonds to be formed under the tabbed portion of the liner as compared to the non-tabbed portion. There is a further danger that on heating the metal foil, the top layer of the seal will burn where the heat transferred to this layer is too great.
- WO-A-9605055 multilayer composite films having a barrier layer of amorphous carbon between a heat sealable layer and a polymeric base layer are described.
- the laminate may be used as part of an induction innerseal for a screw- capped container, for instance a system including an absorbent liner adhered to the top of the composite film by means of a wax layer. Upon induction heating the wax melts and is absorbed into the liner to release the adhesion of the liner.
- Another use of the laminates is to form top-tabbed innerseals, i.e. vessel closing assemblies including a free tab lying wholly within the circumference of the seal.
- the present invention provides a vessel closing laminate comprising: a seal laminate comprising a bottom subassembly of layers including a bottom food contact layer and a foil layer; and a seal substrate attached to the uppermost layer of the bottom subassembly of layers wherein the seal substrate has a bottom foam layer and a top plastics material layer and further includes a free tab lying wholly within the circumference of the seal; a wax layer on top of the plastics material layer of the seal substrate, and an absorbent liner adhered to the plastics material layer of the substrate by means of the wax layer.
- the present invention overcomes the above disadvantage associated with the prior art, more specifically, the inclusion of the foam layer as an essential component of the seal substrate means that, in use when attached to a container to be sealed, when the user pulls on the tab to remove the seal, the seal substrate is resistant to tearing.
- the bottom subassembly of layers are induction heat sealable and comprise a layer of aluminium foil coated on its lowermost face which will ultimately be in contact with the neck of a container with a layer of hot melt adhesive.
- a layer of polyester may be interposed between the hot melt adhesive and aluminium foil layer to isolate the foil from the contents of any container to which it is attached and so prevent corrosion of the foil layer and contamination of food.
- this polyethylene terephthalate layer generally has a thickness in the range from 10 to 14 ⁇ m. It is attached to the foil layer using either a solvent or solvent-less adhesive lamination. Where it is included, the polyethylene terephthalate has already been attached to the foil layer by the supplier.
- the thickness of the foil layer is in the range from 12-30 ⁇ m, more preferably 20-25 ⁇ m.
- the bottom subassembly of layers of the seal laminate are conduction heat sealable.
- the bottom subassembly of layers of the seal comprise a layer of metal foil coated on its lowermost face which will ultimately be in contact with the neck of a container with glassine.
- Glassine is a paper based material which is formed from pulp which has been beaten to the extent that its constituent fibres are all very short resulting in a brittle material which is almost transparent. Glassine is commercially available from, for example, Ahlstrom in France. The glassine is adhered to the lowermost face of the metal foil by a layer of adhesive.
- the bottom glassine layer of the seal may be adhered to the neck of a container using a conventional adhesive such as, for example, polyvinyl acetate.
- the thickness of the foil layer may be as low as 9 ⁇ m.
- the top layer of the bottom subassembly of layers is adhered to a seal substrate.
- the adhesion is by means of a polymer adhesive. Suitable adhesives include polyurethane.
- the seal substrate has a bottom foam layer.
- the foam layer has a thickness in the range from 70 to 300 ⁇ m.
- the foam layer is preferably a foamed polyolefin; for example, polyethylene.
- the foam layer is included in the structure to impart structural integrity. The inclusion of this foam layer means that the problems associated with the prior art are overcome. More specifically, this foam layer has a cushioning effect such that the pressure exerted around the circumference of the laminate when it has been cut to form a vessel closing assembly which is adhered to the neck of the container, is equalised.
- this foam layer has a cushioning effect such that the pressure exerted around the circumference of the laminate when it has been cut to form a vessel closing assembly which is adhered to the neck of the container, is equalised.
- a further advantage is that in induction heat sealing to adhere a vessel closing assembly cut from the laminate of the present invention, the foam layer acts an insulating layer. This regulates the amount of heat which reaches the wax layer such that the wax layer is melted but the risk of burning the liner portion is minimised. As the foam layer imparts structural integrity to the laminate, it is possible to use thinner liner components than are routinely used. It is also to be noted that the inclusion of the foam layer is further advantageous when it comes to a consideration of the processing steps by which a vessel closing assembly cut from the laminate of the present invention is attached to a container to be sealed. A popular way of doing this is to use a vacuum process wherein the vessel closing assembly is picked up and placed in position by use of a vacuum.
- bottom subassembly of layers comprise heat induction sealable layers
- the inclusion of a foam layer ensures that any surface irregularities are minimised.
- the seal substrate of the present invention includes a tab which lies wholly within the circumference of the seal.
- a tab is included to facilitate the eventual removal of the seal from a container to which it has been adhered.
- the tab may be produced by adhering the bottom foam layer and the top plastics material of the seal substrate to each other over only a portion of the diameter thus producing a partially delaminated structure. Structural integrity may be given to the tab by interposing a further layer of plastics material between the bottom foam layer and top plastics material layer of the seal substrate in the region in which they are not bonded and then adhering the further layer of plastics material to the top plastics material layer.
- the further layer of plastics material is adhered to the top plastics material by means of a polymeric adhesive.
- the tab portion may also be printed.
- the final tab will be comprised of the further layer of interposed plastics material, a polymeric adhesive and the top plastics material layer.
- Such a tab has an overall thickness preferably in the range from 80 to 10O ⁇ m.
- the further layer of plastics material is polyester and the top plastic material layer is made from polyester or polyamide.
- the seal portion of the vessel closing laminate is formed using an extrusion technique.
- a technique involves the steps of: (a) feeding a seal laminate comprising the bottom subassembly of layers and the bottom foam layer of the seal substrate to a laminating station;
- the feed may comprise a plurality of narrow tabstocks arranged at regularly spaced apart intervals. In this way, a wide sheet of seal laminate including a tabstock may be formed which can then be cut to size.
- the bottom face of the tabstock and the top face of the foam layer of the seal laminate are brought into contact. At this stage there is no adhesion between the two feeds.
- the two feeds are fed in contact with each other to the laminating station. In order to achieve this, the two feeds must approach the laminating station from the same side.
- the polymeric adhesive which is continuously extruded is selected from polyethylene or polyethylene acrylate.
- the polymeric adhesive has a melt flow index in the range from 2 to 17 dg/min.
- the coat weight of the adhesive is in the range from 15 to 50gm "2 .
- step (d) preferably the top face of the primary substrate and the bottom surface of the plastic film shock are adhered together with a bond strength greater than 15N/12.5 mm at 330 mm/min when the tabstock is pulled at 90° to the machine direction and 180° to the primary substrate.
- the top layer of the seal substrate is a plastics material layer.
- the plastics material is polyester or polyamide, most preferably polyester.
- the polyester layer is polyethylene terephthalate.
- the polyester layer may be a surface treated polyethylene terephthalate such as, for example, Lumirror 10.47 (RTM).
- RTM Lumirror 10.47
- This polyester layer preferably has a thickness in the range from 15 to 40 ⁇ m.
- the top plastic material layer of the seal substrate forms the top layer of the seal laminate of the vessel closing laminate.
- the seal is adhered to the liner by means of a wax layer on top of the plastics material layer.
- the wax is food grade wax.
- the wax may be applied in either a dot or hatch pattern and is applied with a coat weight in the range from 5 to 20 gnrr 2 .
- the adhesion between the wax layer and the absorbent liner is of a temporary nature. This means that the seal and liner will remain adhered together in the final laminate during subsequent processing steps including cutting and fitting into the cap of a container. However, in use in the final sealed container with a cap, the adhesion is no longer present because the wax has been absorbed by the liner as a result of the heat from the induction heating step.
- the wax layer serves to adhere the seal and liner together sufficiently strongly that they will remain adhered during processing operations.
- the wax layer binds the top plastics material layer of the seal substrate to the liner with a strength such that the peel strength is, after manufacture and before induction heat sealing of the seal to a container to be sealed greater than 3N as measured at a rate of 500mm/min on a sample strip 50mm wide.
- the sample is tested at 90° using a roller jig as based on the Floating Roller Method, ASTM method 1464:1995.
- the peel strength after manufacture and before induction heat sealing was also measured to be greater than 18Og as measured at a rate of 1500mm/min on a sample strip 25mm wide. The sample is tested at 90°.
- the vessel closing laminate is cut to size to form a vessel closing assembly.
- the vessel closing assembly is inserted into a cap which, in turn, is applied to the neck of a container to be sealed. Heat is then applied to seal the bottom subassembly of layers to the neck of the container. The heat applied causes the wax layer to melt. The molten wax is absorbed by the liner layer and, as such, at this stage of processing is no longer present as a separate adhesive layer. Thus at this point, the seal and liner are no longer adhered to one another. The vessel closing assembly can thus be adhered to the screw cap without any concern of ripping the seal upon opening because the bond between the seal and liner is no longer present.
- the vessel closing assembly will simply separate between the top polyester layer and the absorbent liner without requiring significant force.
- the absorbent liner which has absorbed the wax layer will remain in the cap and the seal will remain adhered to the neck of the container.
- the absorbent liner may be formed of a layer of food grade cardboard or pulpboard.
- the liner may be formed from a synthetic material such as a layer of foamed plastic material to which a paper layer has been adhered to the bottom surface. Where a synthetic liner is used, the paper layer as a bottom layer is required as the layer in contact with the wax layer which needs to be able to absorb the molten wax.
- the liner preferably has a thickness in the range from 400 to 1500 ⁇ m.
- the vessel closing laminate of the present invention may be cut into disks to form a vessel closing assembly and may be adhered within a screw cap.
- the screw cap may generally be a conventional one. Once the vessel closing assembly has been adhered within a screw cap, the screw cap may be screwed on to the open neck of a container thus sandwiching the vessel closing assembly between the open neck of the container and the top of the cap. The vessel closing assembly is then adhered to the open neck of the container by applying heat either by induction heating or conduction heating.
- Figure 1 is a cross-section though an example of a vessel closing assembly according to the present invention with a vertical dimension greatly exaggerated;
- Figure 2 is a cross-section through a screw cap showing the vessel closing assembly in place;
- Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the seal in place on the neck of a container.
- Figure 4 is a schematic representation of a process by which the seal laminate may be formed.
- the vessel closing laminate (1 ) comprises a liner portion (2) and a seal laminate
- the vessel closing laminate 1 is formed by a laminate of a number of layers which, starting from the bottom comprise a coating of hot melt adhesive (4) deposited typically at a rate of in the range 12 to 60 g/m 2 and may include polyester coatings, polyethylene, ethylene vinyl acetate, polypropylene, ethylene-acrylic acid co-polymers, or Surlyn (RTM); a layer of aluminium foil (5) which is 20 ⁇ m thick; a layer of polymeric adhesive (6) applied, for instance at a rate in the range of 3g/m 2 to 20 g/m 2 ; a layer of polyethylene foam (7) 125 ⁇ m thick; a layer of polyethylene terephthalate (8) which has been printed extending only part way across the layer of foam (7) and not adhered to the layer of foam (7); a layer of polymeric adhesive (9) applied, for instance at a rate of 20 to 50g/m 2 ; a layer of surface treated polyethylene terephthalate (10) 36 ⁇ m thick which is
- the adhesive layers (6 and 9) are typically polyurethane or polyethylene acrylate. As described previously, in one embodiment, the adhesive layer (9) may be extruded between the layer of polyethylene terephthalate (8) and the layer of polyethylene terepthalate (10).
- a seal laminate comprising heat sealable layers (4) for adhesion to a container to be sealed, a foil layer (5) and a top layer of polyethylene foam (7) is obtained commercially from lsco Jacques Schindler AG.
- This seal laminate is rolled onto a first feed roll (13) in the laminating apparatus.
- the second feed roll (14) in the laminating apparatus is the source of the tabstock, which in this case, is a layer of polyethylene terephthalate (8).
- the width of the layer of polyethylene terephthalate (8) is in the range from 25-60mm.
- a third feed roll (15) is loaded with a PET stock (10) which can be obtained commercially from Toray, Europe.
- the thickness of the PET stock (10) is in the range from 23-36 ⁇ m.
- the PET stock (10) used is a co-extruded PET heat seal layer in order to ensure optimal adhesion.
- the seal laminate (3a), tabstock (8) and PET stock (10) are simultaneously fed to the laminating station (6) where an extruder (17) is positioned vertically above the point of contact between the feeds. Prior to reaching the laminating station (16), the seal laminate (3a) and tabstock (8) are brought into contact to form a primary substrate
- Polyethylene acrylate (9) is then extruded continuously as a curtain from the extruder (17) between the top face of the primary laminate (1a) and the bottom face of the PET stock (10).
- the extrusion conditions were such that a temperature of approximately 230 0 C was attained at the nip.
- the rollers (18) and (19) are moving at a speed of 70m/min relative to the speed of application of the adhesive, the bottom face of the PET stock (10) and the resulting primary laminate including a tabstock is passed via a chill roller (31 ) to be rolled on to a final product roll (32).
- This process is illustrated schematically in Fig 4.
- a bond is formed between the seal portion (3) and the liner portion (2).
- the peel strength after manufacture and before induction heat sealing to a container to be sealed of the absorbent liner from the top polyester layer of the seal is measured to be greater than 3N at 500 ⁇ m/min on a 50mm wide sample at 90° using a roller jig based on ASTM method 1464:1995, the Floating Roller method.
- This bond holds the two portions (2 and 3) together during subsequent processing and handling.
- the presence of the polyethylene terephthalate partial layer (8) and the fact that it is not bonded to the foam layer (7) provides a separate tab portion formed by the layers (8 and 10) which is not adhered to the layer (7) and so forms a liftable tab (50) (shown in Figure 3) which will be described subsequently.
- the one-component liner (1) is press-fitted inside the top of a screw cap (20) and adhered in place by means of a hot melt adhesive.
- a screw cap equipped with a vessel closing assembly (1) in accordance with the present invention is screwed onto the open neck of a bottle (30) so sandwiching the vessel closing assembly (1) between the open neck of the bottle (30) and the top of the cap
- the cap (20) and bottle (30) are then subjected to an induction heating step in which the aluminium foil (5) is heated around its periphery by the generation of eddy currents within it which, in turn, melts the coating (40) of hot melt adhesive to bond the seal portion (3) onto the open neck of the bottle (30). This has the effect of melting the wax layer (11). The molten wax is absorbed by the liner (12). The sealed container is then distributed.
- seal portion (3) When the screw cap (20) is removed from the bottle (30) by the eventual user the seal portion (3) remains adhered to the open neck of the bottle (30) whilst the liner portion (1 ) is retained in the cap.
- the seal portion (3) and liner portion (2) part between the top polyethylene terephthalate layer (10), and layer of food grade cardboard (12) during this initial removal of the cap (20) from the neck of the bottle (30).
- the eventual consumer can then easily remove the seal portion (3) from the neck of the bottle (30) merely by gripping the tab portion (50) formed by the layers (8) and (10) with the manual force applied to the tab (50) overcoming the adhesion provided between the hot melt coating (4) and the neck of the bottle (30) to enable the entire seal portion (3) to be removed to allow the eventual user to gain access to the contents of the bottle
- the liner portion (2) remains adhered within the cap to form a secondary seal when the bottle is reclosed by the cap.
